This tutorial should give eZ Publish developers some new ideas on how to use eZ Find. The ever growing need for speed can be achieved by using eZ Find search function instead of standard content list/tree fetch functions. Solr engine, used by eZ Find, is far more superior regarding read speed than mysql (at least in the way eZ Publish uses them). This fact becomes apparent when dealing with 10 or 100 thousands of objects in your database with complicated eZ Publish SQL queries starting to slow down rapidly. If you need text search capabilities difference in read speed becomes even more obvious.

Here is the third part of a series of tutorials about eZ Find. At the end of this series, you will have been exposed all details on how it works, and be able to make an advanced usage, in various context, of this enterprise-grade search plug-in. This series will serve as a base for a talk on the subject at the eZ Conference 2010, in Berlin. As well as the Libre Software meeting.

This tutorial will show you how to create eZ Publish objects using PHP to allow you to dynamically create or import content from elsewhere. After reading this article you should be able to create objects for any situation including those with XML fields, image or file fields and object relations.

This tutorial gives developers the power to extend the features and flexibility of eZ Publish beyond a single website, to having an unlimited number in one installation. At the end of this tutorial you will have learned how to best leverage eZ Publish's siteaccess concept to create multiple websites. It will let you apply this concept through the concrete case of building two different, multilingual websites on one single eZ Publish instance.

ezjscore is an eZ Publish extension that provides a simple framework for using Ajax, JavaScript, and (to a smaller extent) CSS. It is bundled with eZ Flow and Website Interface installations in eZ Publish 4.2 and is mostly compatible with previous eZ Publish 4.x versions. In this article, we will provide documentation for ezjscore and show you some example code, all with the goal of helping you to build more powerful, richer, and better performing eZ Publish websites.

Sometimes, during a web application development, you need to interface with your client's software(s) and/or websites in order to keep a common and coherent session within its applicative environment. To do this, it is often useful to use a special tool : SSO (Single Sign On). This article illustrates one way of integrating an eZ Publish based web application into an existing SSO architecture

Many products – PDF books, songs, and online games, among others – are well suited for a pay-per-download workflow. In such a case, customers buy products online and receive immediate access, without requiring any action from the seller. eZ Publish provides a framework to quickly set up pay-per-download products.

This article is a quick guide to one of the powerful publishing features of eZ Publish: the ability to import and export content using the eZ OpenDocument Format (eZODF) extension. This article will describe some of the benefits of the extension as compared to online content editing. It will also provide an illustrated how-to to show how easy the feature is to use.

eZ Publish 4.1 brings improved WebDAV support by replacing its original building blocks by the eZ Components WebDAV component. The new version conserves all existing features, plus it now capitalises on the solid base of eZ Components with its unit tests, documentation and extensibility. This allows for easier maintenance and addition of new features, such as locking, in subsequent eZ publish releases as well.

This article describes in detail the principles and functions of the new cache system present in eZ Publish 4.1. Overall the idea can be summarised as follows: instead of deleting cache elements and then regenerate them across concurrent requests, the logic is reversed to a refresh algorithm. Basically a cache element will be marked as invalid but not deleted until a new version is ready. During the generation of the new cache element, the old version will still be served until it is ready.

Typical workflow-like processes basically boil down to transitions in states for objects driven by human or other external interaction. The introduction of freely definable object states, possibly grouped in object state collections and coupled to the role/policy system of eZ Publish, enables a wide range of applications.
